Lunch: Plums
Dinner
Venison steak (leftover)
Corn on the cob (farmstand 10 miles down North Avenue)
Buttermilk biscuitsLocal ingredients: buttermilk, wheat flour, butter, honey
Non-local ingredients: baking soda, baking powder, salt (We decided, since we hadn't used any yet, to swap out chocolate for salt on our exceptions list)
Things learned today:
-Whole, fresh-ground wheat flour is not the same thing as all-purpose flour. They cannot be properly substituted for each other. Also, sifting whole wheat flour... good luck.
-The Heritage Prairie Market rocks.
-It is possible to get same-day corn in Dupage County. Even though if you ask the vendors at the farmers' market, and then refuse to buy corn picked the previous day, they look at you like you have two heads.
